The crew chiefs would be required to call the drivers on the radio every few minutes to ask 'em how many laps they had left. The whole series would have to run retreads and regular unleaded. Winners circle would have one 6 pack of K-Cola to be shared by the winning team. The national anthem would be sung by somebody famouses brothers cousins sister. If you wrecked at all, even if it wasn't your fault, you'd be black flagged. Top prize would be an AMEX card loaded with brownie points. Any body got any other ideas?

How about racing in the rain too. Maybe have Larry the Cable Guy do some TV & radio broadcasts !

Certainly you would be penalized for not winning, told to try harder, plus if you were winning a race, you have to stop in the "Management Pit" to go over safety procedures. Your crew could work on your car, but only for 12 seconds - after that you have to finish whatever they started yourself. Prior to replacing tires, there would have to be a meeting of ALL of the crews immediately - which would start 15-20 minutes later - to go over proper lifting, de-lugging, and grip methods, with some clever acronym (Begin Unless Lower Left Strut Has Inverted Teeth)....I could go on & on..

You got that backwards, Ashley has never been in a mens magazine scantily clad. not that it`s bad but you brought up the subject of wholesome.

[UpstateNYUPSer]

I just think Danica is hot, especially when she gets all pissed and goes after the other drivers.

Among the hot but unconfirmed rumors making the rounds in the Sprint Cup garage this week are that Richard Childress Racing will land UPS as a sponsor for Clint Bowyer’s #07 Chevrolet. Multiple sources indicated that Bowyer’s car was the favorite to take the sponsorship over from Michael Waltrip Racing and David Reutimann. One source close to the negotiations said RCR initially offered UPS #31-Jeff Burton, 41, but the delivery company wanted a younger driver with whom it could create a long-term identity and Bowyer is just 29. Burton, instead, will be sponsored next year by Caterpillar.

I hope this is true!! I am a big RCR fan with Harvick as my top guy (followed him at the local level in Bakersfield). I prayed and prayed for UPS to get on board with Burton thinking that Burton would be the perfect Jarrett replacement but I have been hearing lately that they are more interested in a young driver. Now I can start wearing UPS shirts! Go RCR!!

Very smart move...I do like Burton but he wont be around much longer so it wasnt a good choice if ups wants to stay in the sport awhile

[Cementups]

This is a new one to me and I listen to NASCAR radio daily. Not a bad choice though for that rock-star image that UPS is looking for.

They should sponsor me, new package car. With powersteering and automatic would be nice, Id beep the horn more and park it in highvisibility spaces at lunch. tell people the scratches are from the pit crew who park it at night.

Good. I'm tired of seeing the UPS car finish among the handicapped, the jalopy's and horse drawn race cars.

[Dutch Dawg]

Ok here's the buzz.....RCR and Ryan Newman will announce a new team venture sponsered by UPS during the weekend of the Allstate 400 (aka Brickyard).

Or then again maybe not........

[Cementups]

All the stuff upsdude stated I heard on Sirius Speedway today as well.

It would be appropriate to do that at the Brickyard since Ryan Newman has the personality of a brick.

[springrubber]

Ryan Newman is going with Stewart to the new Stewart/Haas team. Thatsracin.com has learned from the Charlotte Observer today that Joe Gibbs racing will announce as early as Wed Stewart's release. Jack Daniels is rumored to go with Newman at Stewart's new camp. It's Bowyer for us and I am very happy about it!

Me too if this matchup falls into place.

[Cementups]

Stewart is going to announce tomorrow that he is leaving JGR at the end of the year Press conference is at 2:30 pm EST.

[SoyFish]

Cool if Bowyer would be sponsored by UPS...I actually like Clint. Reutimann on the other hand...doesn't run so well. Top 20's don't give you tv time, but top 10's will

[helenofcalifornia]

Does anybody know when UPS will announce who their driver will be?

[MonavieLeaker]

RCR denied that UPS will sponsor the 07 next year...Story on Jayski

[SoyFish]

^ Yeah I read that too.
